Hi Jason,
Why don´t you try out a simple method:
- Place a tank filled with system water alongside with the
tank that you want to remove the marble from.
- Remove the fish first to the other tank, then remove the
marble boxes and afterwards place the fish back into the
original tank.
- The only "problem" is that fish will be hadled twice but
as long as you have fine mesh fish nets, that will not be
a problem for the fish, specially for their fins.
